Abstract: A cell transmits synchronization signal blocks (SSB) to a user equipment (UE) for the UE to synchronize with the cell. The cell configures a discovery reference signal (DRS) window for synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission to a user equipment (UE), determines that a channel in an unlicensed spectrum is not occupied and transmits multiple SSBs to the UE in response to determining that the channel in the unlicensed spectrum is not occupied.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) configuration having simultaneous connections with a first next generation node B (gNB) and at least one second gNB over a same carrier. The UE divides uplink (UL) resources into a plurality of groups, determines a spatial relation and a pathloss reference signal (RS) for each one of the plurality of groups based on a transmission configuration indication (TCI) indicating a quasi-co-location (QCL) source RS for a downlink channel and transmits UL data on the UL resources corresponding to each one of the plurality of groups to a respective one of the first gNB or the at least one second gNB.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reports beam management information to a network. The UE receives a first group of multiple reference signals from a first transmission reception point (TRP) of a network, receives a second group of multiple reference signals from a second different TRP of the network, selects a first beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the first group, selects a second beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the second group and transmits a message to the network, the message including an indication of the selected first beam and second beam.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining a starting point of a measurement gap. For example, the present disclosure is directed to a user equipment (UE) that includes a memory and processor circuitry coupled to the memory. The processor circuitry may be configured to receive an indication of a measurement gap timing advance. The processor circuitry may be further configured to, based on the indication of the measurement gap timing advance, determine a starting point of a measurement gap in a dual connectivity mode that provides dual connectivity with a new radio (NR) and an evolved universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access (EUTRA). The NR may serve as a master Radio Access Network (RAN) and the EUTRA may serve as a secondary RAN. The processor circuitry may also be configured to perform a signal quality measurement during the measurement gap, wherein the signal quality measurement is performed on a target cell of the NR or EUTRA.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for uplink panel selection with power saving. In some embodiments, user equipment (UE) may experience a positional change. In response, the UE may deactivate a first communication panel to save power and activate a second communication panel. The UE may then transmit a status message to a communication node indicating the activation and/or deactivation. The node may then register this activation and/or deactivation. In some embodiments, the node may monitor uplink slots from the first and second communication panel to identify the activation and deactivation. For example, if the node detects an absence of an uplink signal within a slot threshold, the node may identify the panel as being deactivated. The node may establishing communications with another panel based on a detected signal and/or the status message.
